Sara Ali Khan admits trolling affects her mother Amrita Singh emotionally: ‘I feel very bad... my mom feels bad when she reads about it'
Sara Ali Khan
is no stranger to trolling. From her film choices to her physical appearance, the actress, like many star kids in the industry, has faced her share of online hate. But in a recent interview, Sara admitted that while she's learnt to take the negativity in her stride, it's her mother
Amrita Singh
who finds it harder to ignore.
Speaking to Instant Bollywood, Sara shared how she copes with social media scrutiny, acknowledging that it often affects her mother emotionally. 'It's very wrong. I feel very bad. My mom feels bad when she reads about it. What will I do about it? I can't change it. I can feel bad, but you just have to move on,' she said candidly.
Sara reflected on how people online continue to write insensitive and critical things, regardless of their accuracy or impact.
'Wrong karke kya kar loge? Aap rok doge? Koi likhna bandh kar dega? It's not going to stop. So really, what is the point?' she asked rhetorically.
Learning to be thick-skinned
Despite being under constant public scrutiny, Sara said she's come to terms with the fact that this is part of being a public figure. 'You just have to be thick-skinned. Mom's new vocabulary is thick-skinned,' she shared with a smile. 'The only thing I actually care about is her—like I care that she's reading this.

Fatima Sana Shaikh would initially get affected by fake news on personal life: 'Woh Instagram, Reddit pe type karega...'
Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh says she has learnt the art of not letting social media chatter and fake news about personal life get to her. The actor, who is promoting her upcoming film Metro…In Dino, opens up to HT in a candid chat about various kinds of insecurities, and how she deals with them. (Also read: 'Good guys exist only in films': Fatima Sana Shaikh rubbishes Vijay Varma dating rumours, shares blunt assessment of men) Fatima Sana Shaikh talks about her new film Metro In Dino and more. In Metro In Dino, Fatima is part of an ensemble that includes seven other actors in lead roles. "It's very easy to get insecure when there are so many actors and you don't know what the script is," says Fatima very candidly, "You can be insecure about how long your track is and what others are doing." However, the actor says that the insecurity never creeps in due to the trust she and the rest of the cast members have in director Anurag Basu. "We all trust him, and we have this belief that whatever time our character gets will have a good arc, and you won't be forgotten," Fatima adds. On her public private life Metro In Dino is an anthology story that deals with the challenges love faces in today's world. As public figures, actors like Fatima share an additional challenge - of having their private lives being out in public. Talking about how she deals with unwarranted interest in her personal life, including relationship rumours and news, the actor says, "It affects at one point. Initially, it did. But then I realised it's not that important, because someone thinks about someone else for just one second. After that, they are thinking about themselves. 'Who is thinking about me?' is what most people wonder." Fatima says she has learnt to block out that chatter over the years. "I have realised this. Woh Instagram ya Reddit par type kar lega 'oh iski life me yeh chal raha hai'. But eventually, he is also worried about his own life. I don't give that much importance now." Over the last few days, Fatima has been in the news for her personal life. Reports claimed that she is dating Vijay Varma. However, on Wednesday, during the trailer launch of her Netflix film Aap Jaisa Koi in Mumbai, she maintained she was single. When reporters present there tried to probe her about her personal life, Fatima replied, 'No one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films.' Metro In Dino also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher. The film is scheduled to release on 4 July. Aap Jaisa Koi, Fatima's next film after that, will stream on Netflix on July 11.

Travis Kelce's new favorite Taylor Swift song is not what fans expected: Other NFL tight ends also turn Swifties
Travis Kelce's new favorite Taylor Swift song (Image via X) Taylor Swift may have done 'things greater than date the boy on the football team,' but now that she is dating one, it seems the NFL can't stop singing her tunes—literally. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently updated his favorite Swift track, and the surprise pick left fans buzzing. Taylor Swift takes over the NFL again—Travis Kelce and teammates share their favorite tracks At this year's Tight End University (TEU), a training summit founded by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen to help players sharpen their craft, the Swiftie energy was impossible to miss. TEU isn't just about drills and technique anymore—it's turned into a mini music fest, with Swift taking center stage both on and off the field. In a playful moment captured by Bussin' With The Boys and shared on Instagram by FanDuel, Kelce was asked to name his current favorite Taylor Swift song. The question, innocent as it was, drew a long, dramatic pause from the tight end. After a pensive sigh and a few pursed lips, he cautiously said, 'I guess 'So High School?'' His delivery had fans grinning, especially when he bashfully declined to sing a few lines, adding with a smile, 'No, I'm nervous. ' Kelce had once praised Blank Space as 'unbelievable,' but it appears the catchy, flirty tones of So High School have taken the top spot on his playlist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nhà container vận chuyển 2025 (Xem ngay) Shipping Container Homes Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The song, believed by many to be inspired by Kelce himself, includes the lyric: "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle," which seems almost too perfect to ignore. Swift's presence at TEU was another highlight. She surprised attendees with an impromptu performance of Shake It Off, drawing cheers from NFL players and staff alike. While TEU is known for building bonds between the league's top tight ends, it now also doubles as a celebration of Swift's music—thanks in part to her relationship with Kelce. Other NFL stars got in on the Swiftie moment too. Four-time Super Bowl champ Rob Gronkowski picked Shake It Off as his top track and even threw in a few dance moves. George Kittle of the 49ers didn't hesitate before naming Love Story, calling it 'incredible.' Meanwhile, Raiders rookie Brock Bowers intended to choose Love Story, but accidentally broke into You Belong With Me instead. Points for effort, if not accuracy. With the NFL season set to kick off on September 5 as the Chiefs face the Chargers in primetime, fans can expect not just touchdowns—but maybe a few sing-alongs too. Because when love and football collide, apparently, there's always a Swift song to soundtrack the moment. Also Read: What does Aaron Rodgers' possible retirement mean for the Steelers' future plans?
